Was Miss Puerto Rico trolling Trump with snake in the garden monologue?

Ah Miss America, the Gods delivered. Or at least the devil, in the form of a red-clad Miss Puerto Rico, impersonating, in a red full body suit initially covered by a judicial robe, the proverbial snake in the garden turned presidential candidate for her talent on preliminaries.
Was she trolling Donald Trump? Hillary Clinton? The American electorate?
She did not win night 3 in talent in Boardwalk Hall — that went to the awesome Miss Michigan Arianna Quan on Piano, who was also in a way trolling the presidential candidates with her platform about immigration.
You might see Quan on Sunday during the televised pageant finals. But the pageant would be more likely to go back to Vegas, described as the dark era Thursday night, than advance Miss Puerto Rico Carole Rigual and her devilish monologue.
"You guys are so predictable!" the forensic psychologist with a degree from the University of Puerto Rico began, still in judicial black. "Yes, always pretending that you are happy. Successful. Thanking God for his blessings. (smooch). You try to be the best humans because those are the divine laws."
Then, the transformation, shedding the robe for a bodysuit and a chair (shades of Clint Eastwood)?
"You got me. I’ve existed for an eternity. I am the snake that gave Adam and Eve the forbidden fruit. I am a sea of evil. Did I get your attention?"
Then, with a wicked laugh, full on presidential candidate:
"Ladies and gentleman: what this country needs is a person like me with a desire to contribute to  a better society by electing us a new president.
"I guarantee that thiiings wiilll change. You humans are so easy to manipulate."
Then, with an arching back bend: "Do you know who I am now?"
Donald Trump? An easy conclusion maybe, with the buffoonish authoritarian character. But the deep throated voice also evoked Hillary Clinton, in a way. Then again, writer Lisa DePaulo, an uncommonly astute pageant observer, concluded: "I think she was channeling Melania."
Either way, Miss Puerto Rico can take her place alongside other monologues and talent that never make it to the main stage but make Miss America what Miss America was always meant to be.

These Two Places Could Be the 51st and 52nd States of America

Image
Say sayonara to the 50 stars on our grand old flag. If speculation can be believed, the United States of America could soon add two more brethren to its ranks. And no, it’s not Canada or Mexico. Odds are, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico could soon claim statehood,  OZY  reports. The movement to make Washington, D.C. a state gained momentum in the spring of 2016, when 86 percent of D.C. voters approved a petition on the matter. The district later drafted a state constitution during a summer convention. Meanwhile, proponents also attended the Republican and Democratic national conventions to advocate for their cause. “We’ve accomplished a lot in educating Americans around the country,” says Paul Strauss, the district’s two-term “shadow senator.” D.C.’s representatives may sit in Congress but do not vote. Although the district’s population is bigger than Wyoming’s or Vermont’s, concerns regarding the legality of its statehood have sinc...

Puerto Rico is where women wear the highest heels in the entire U.S, study finds

Image
And the winner is – drum roll – Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico claims the top spot in a survey of United States and its territories seeking where women wore the highest heels. Puerto Rico came in with an average of 2.86 inch heels, with Nevada, Florida, Arkansas and Texas following the island. The survey, titled “Stilettos by State,” was conducted by Gilt , an online shopping site, in effort to see whether fashion tastes varied by location. Nebraska, Kansas and Maine were home to women preferring the shortest heels, just under 1.97 inches. The Gilt survey did not look at boots and ballet flats. High heel averages in states near the top of the list were 2.46 inches in Florida, 2.35 inches in Texas, and 2.25 inches in California. Theories abounded in published reports about the variety of taste in heels. They included drawing a link between a preference for high heels and warm weather, and low heels and rural areas. Another publication drew a parallel between high heels and places whe...
